What are some good Subs on Lemmy that we should know about?

They're Communities here!

OP was clearly talking about BDSM. Now he's too embarrassed to correct us and is continuing with this whole communities / magazine charade.
Ohh thus the /c/ that I see being referenced right?

Thanks for clarifying that!
- Yup, although on kbin they're called "magazines", so their urls start with /m/, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration
- Yes, although I recommend against using /c/ because it doesn't actually link to the community. I also recommend against typing out the full URL (e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy) because it might cause issues for people in different instances.
  
  The proper way to link to a community is !communityname@domainname.tld. For example, !asklemmy@lemmy.ml
- Yup! No worries.
  
  Welcome!
Not short and snappy enough!!

...Comms? 🤔
Ok, and what how do you shorten it? No way I'm typing it out all the time it comes up. Comms seem to be appropriate

Piracy and Risa are 90% of the reason I'm here.

If they didn't want you to download stuff, they shouldn't have given you a cool title like "pirate."
- Lmao! What would be a good alternate title in your opinion? :D
- I've never liked counterfeiter. I like to think that the money I make is artisinally crafted locally sourced currency.
C/Risa is the reason I started watching Star Trek. Even without watching the show, they've got the best memes on lemmy.
- TNG is where most people start, but I’d actually recommend watching the TOS movies first, personally. You can skip the first and fifth movie, the rest are pretty good.
  
  I really enjoy TOS, but I know that a lot of people don’t have tolerance for 1960s productions. The TOS movies, starting with the second one, were made with a more modern style. You should watch them if only to get the proper impact from TNG’s ‘Relics’ episode.
- Which series did you start with?
Apparently you and I have polar opposite tastes in those areas. Risa was the first thing I blocked and I've been slowly working my way through blocking all the Piracy communities.

I'm here for formula 1, mechanical keyboards, and obscure stuff like weirdly specific playlists.
- You block piracy? Lol does getting shit for free bother you?
- Where’s the mechanical keyboard communities? Not that I need to see any more kb things to waste my money on. 😂
Me too. And I newly moved from reddit. 😂

Also look at Privacy Guide this will be helpful.
Tf is risa?
- It’s usually a great place, but if you wear a Bikini there, Worf turns into a supervillain who controls the weather.

Superbowl is a great little sub, the main person behind it makes all these fantastic posts full of information and photos- I've learnt so much about owls in the last few weeks!

!superbowl@lemmy.world

:)
- This was funnier on reddit where there could be only one "superbowl" sub and it was taken by enthusiasts of superb owls. It is less funny on a platform where "superbowl" on other instances can still be a community for Super Bowl fans.
I just joined it yesterday, I love it
- I am glad! Lemmy needs more bright little corners of things to make people smile. It's good to follow politics and news and tech, but those things are seldom positive stories.
  
  With nobody else posting, I decided to make it what I wanted to see on Lemmy, so while I do post adorable but deadly birds, I also try to teach about them so we care about saving them and to spotlight the people that care for them when they're injured.
  
  Sometimes I'll post about environmental concerns if it's more important than usual, but it's mainly just to give everyone, including myself, something to look forward to seeing.
  
  If you're non-US, I try to they're in owls from around the world a few times a week, and if you have any questions it there's something you want to see, just let me know!
Between this and my crosspost to !aww@lemmy.ml, this explains the higher number of subscribers this week. I was wondering what was going on!

Thanks for the promotion! I'm glad it's something you think others should see.

I've had nothing but praise in the past, but I don't really know you that way and I don't go around advertising it

I'm upvoting you, but I'm not happy about it.
- That's entirely reasonable

Shameless plug, but if you're into retro gaming at all then come check out kbin.social/m/fpgagaming.

It's the spiritual successor to my old somewhat popular subreddit of the same name where we cover topics related to programmable logic-based retro game hardware. If using bespoke (i.e.: Analogue Pocket) or open source (i.e.: MiSTer) hardware for high-accuracy emulation of retro gaming systems is something that you might be into, then fpgagaming is the new place on the fediverse to go. :)

!fpgagaming@kbin.social

^ link that will work in apps.
You’ve got yourself a sub.

I like to call them sublemons.

What about sublemes

The term for subs on Lemmy is burrows, since that's where lemmings live.

That said, I would recommend both !casualconversation@lemmy.world for the positive air and !downvotedtooblivion@lemm.ee for the negative crowd control.

Absolutely not.
- Why not?
They're communities
- I'm going by what I've seen a lot of people call them and fancy calling them.

Shit. That's good.

Here are some random communities that you may enjoy. As general tip: look for things you enjoy. For instance, there are plenty of communities about privacy and open source, food, climate, gaming, browsers, plants and animals, news, politics, sports, memes, you name it. I really like the trending communities; great way to find new communities or remind you to look for something you hadn't thought about.

!nathanwpyle@lemmy.world (i love this one, but lately the number of posts seems to be less frequent) !asklemmy@lemmy.world (usually friendly and interesting to see what is going on in other people's minds and participating in the discussions) !confidently_incorrect@lemmy.world !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl !coolwebsites@lemmy.ca !aww@lemmy.ml !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world

I really like the trending communities; great way to find new communities...

Hmm, I don't really get that. Most of the time "trending communities" seem to be newly-created communities with little if any content. Considering how common it is for people to grab a community name and sit on it indefinitely, I feel like the 'trending detection' formula could be tweaked to display newer communities with solid growth, instead.

...or remind you to look for something you hadn’t thought about.

I salute the spirit of that, but the number of healthy communities across the FV seems pretty limited so far. Sure, it's not that hard to find ghost communities with search tools (I tend to use this one), but that's kind of a bittersweet feeling.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

!Technology@beehaw.org is pretty good for tech news. Better than the subreddit.

See if your local area has a community too. If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, there's not a lot going on in !bayarea@lemmy.world but at least it exists?

That all depends on what you're interested in. I'm assuming you've come from reddit, so you could try sub.rehab to find new homes for your subs, although tbh I don't know if it's up to date or not - there have been some instances die so the communities had to move.

I recommend !warhammer40k@lemmy.world

We have, uh, Warhammer 40k.

I play Clowns. Don't tempt me with a good time.
- Then come on in, you knife eared xeno.

Please, everyone go check out !superbowl@lemmy.world
The man running is genuine and engaging, I learn more every time I visit ❤️
